A very interesting plant this is a yellow Shasta daisy; it is perfect with some of the new Echinacaea cultivars. Sunshine got rave reviews by all who saw it in our border last summer. ZONE 4

An evergreen perennial, quickly forming dense clumps of toothed, dark green, glossy leaves. From Spring to Autumn, slender erect stems bearing large, solitary, creamy lemon daisy flowers are produced. An ideal weed suppresser due to chemicals it produces to inhibit the growth of other plants, and also extremely tough.Shasta daisies are an old fashioned favourite that until now came in only one colour, white. This is a must have plant useful in so many places in the garden, especially en masse.
